the absolute maximum latencies (talking about hard realtime constraints)
can't be given for Linux not being a non-realtime OS.
for my good old 486dx/66 once I got ~12-13 usec interrupt latencies
where timing histograms showed some exceeds over ~100uses, and
very few >~500usec (this was using Linux ~1.0..1.1 I think).
while the 12usec was great, it was not possible to guearantee 1msec...
